On Saturday, July 14th, 8 members loaded up in Engine 4-9-1 and headed to the Honey Brook Fire Company (Station 33)to standby and cover any fire calls for them while they had their last night of their firemen’s carnival. Their carnival is spread over the last two Saturdays in June, and the first two Saturdays in July. \
\
This year the standbys were:\
June 23rd= Martins Corner Engine 34-1 (1 call), \
June 30th= Twin Valley Engine 69-2 (no calls), \
July 7th= Geigertown Engine 24 (2 calls), \
July 14th= White Horse Engine 4-9-1 (1 call).\
\
While enroute to the standby, Honey Brook was dispatched to a vehicle accident on Beaver Dam Road, east of Route 10, in Honey Brook Township. Engine 4-9-1 responded immediately after dispatch to offer assistance to Honey Brook, due the carnival starting soon after the call was dispatched. The accident involved an SUV and an Amish buggy. One patient was transported to a local hospital for treatment. After arriving on the scene, and staging behind Engine 33-1, and assisting loading the patient onto Ambulance 33-1’s stretcher, Engine 4-9-1 was released by Chief 33 (Jackson), and continued on to Station 33 for the standby.\
\
After arriving at Station 33, the crew volunteered to wash and load the 1600′ hose load of 4 inch hose back on Engine 33-2 for Honey Brook, as Engine 33-2 was used earlier in the day to carry the coffin of Past President & Past EMS Captain Chris Reeder to his final resting place during his funeral procession.\
\
The rest of the evening was spent socializing, eating, playing the games, and listening to the music of “Southern Edge” at the carnival. Fortunately, no additional calls were dispatched during the standby.\
\
The standby lasted from 6:00PM to 11:30PM. Engine 4-9-1 returned to White Horse at 11:45PM. Thanks to Honey Brook for the hospitality, and the delicious food.\
